Privacy Technology Practices

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have incorporated “do not track” features to enable users to make privacy and security choices. By using these settings, your browser may send a signal to our Site not to collect tracking information. At this time, the Site does not respond to “do not track” signals, if received.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Site like in customer reviews.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Site. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as we have a business relationship with you. We may retain your account information and order information for our records for up to 7 years after your last transaction.

Payment Processors

Payment information, such as card numbers, expiration date, CVV code, and the billing address of the card holder are processed by third-party processors. The third-party payment processors we use include PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shopify Pay. We do not store or retain your payment information. For more information about the privacy practices of these payment processors please review their respective privacy policies.

Your Privacy Rights

Certain state privacy laws, such as those in California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia, may provide their residents with rights over their personal information and how businesses may use them. Please note that not all of the aforementioned state laws apply to us as a business. We will notify you in the event that you submit a request as outlined below and the state law governing such a request does not apply to us.

Your Right to Opt-Out

You have the right to direct us not to sell your personal information at any time. We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years old. Consumers who opt-in to personal information may opt-out of future sales at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following link: “DO NOT SELL or SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION”

You may also send us an email to privacy@zitsticka.com with the subject line “Data Subject Request.” In your email, please specify your full name, a description of your request, and whether you are submitting a request for yourself or on behalf of another individual. If you are making a request on behalf of someone else, we may require additional information from you to verify your identity. Upon receipt of your request, we will process it and respond within the timelines required under applicable law. If additional information is required from you, we will contact you using the email address you have provided.

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least 12 months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights.

Your Right to Know and Delete

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal data over the past 12 months. Once we receive and validate your request, we will include a list of your personal data that may have been disclosed and the categories of third parties the information may have been disclosed to.

You may request that we delete any of your personal data that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will review your request. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is proper and necessary or if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies.

If your request is approved, we will delete or deidentify the relevant information and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

Exercising Your Rights to Know, Delete or Correct

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

Emailing us at privacy@zitsticka.com with subject line “Verifiable Consumer Request”. Please include your state of residents in the body of your email along with the data right you wish to exercise.

Only you, or your authorized representative may make a request to know or delete related to your personal data. We may ask for your name, email address and account information to verify your identity or your authorized representative’s identity.

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt, unless we require an extension. If we reasonably require an extension we will inform you of the reason and extension period.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your data rights.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Notice to Colorado & Virginia Users

In addition to the rights disclosed above, our consumers in Colorado and Virginia may also appeal a denial of a data request. To submit an appeal, please send us an email at: privacy@zitsticka.com with the subject line “Data Subject Right Decision Appeal.” In the body of your email please include a brief explanation of why you are appealing the decision you have been provided and why we should reconsider our previous determination. We will respond with information of the action we have taken in response to your appeal within 45 days.

Notice to California Residents - California’s Shine the Light Law

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits Users of our Site that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of the information you provide through the Site to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us at the information provided below.

SMS

We may offer discounts, advertisements, marketing incentives, rewards and other offers and benefits to you if you sign up to email and SMS promotional campaigns or other programs. When you sign up for one of our email or SMS programs, we typically ask you to provide your name and contact information (such as email address and/or telephone number). Because our programs involve the collection of personal information as well as offering of various benefits, our programs may be interpreted as providing a “financial incentive” under California Law. To the extent we derive value from the collection of the personal information you provide to us, that value is directly related to the value to us of the opportunity to promote products to you as well as the value of the benefits that you obtain. You may withdraw from participating in our email or SMS programs at any time by contacting us using the designated method described in the terms and conditions that apply to the program, or by contacting us at privacy@zitsticka.com.
